:1,2,3,6,1657,3314,4971,9942
Now, list down the factors of 4967
:1,4967
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9942,4967 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9942,4967 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/46896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9942/48,4967/977 is 1/46896
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 48,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,977) = ( 48 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(48,977) = 46896 / 1
LCM(48,977) = 46896
